What you'll find
Field Notes - Making a garden With Sculpted Plants
Digs into the creative and practical thinking behind gardening with hedges and topiary. It includes 80 pages filled with notes, illustrations and photos, exploring the ways I have used clipped forms in my home garden, and ideas for incorporating them into your own. Not a formal garden person? That’s ok, Making a Garden with Sculpted Plants is still relevant!
My preferred garden style is wild and natural, though I use hedges and spheres within abundant informal gardens for contrast, framing, rhythm and more, and these ideas are all covered in this edition.
Within the pages you will find;
- The roles informal and formal hedges and topiary can play in our gardens, and how to use them in creative and functional ways.
- Notes on the hedge and topiary plant species I grow in my garden, and lists of alternative plants to consider for your needs and situation.
- The creative use of topiary with a focus on spheres/domes.
- Reflections on the use of clipped forms in both formal and informal garden settings.
- Notes on hedge and topiary plant selection, planting, establishment and care.
- Full colour images and illustrations to demonstrate the content, and lots more!
